HILO, Hawai'i – After snagging five saves for a shut-out victory this past weekend, Vulcan freshman goalkeeper Lolo Retsky (Calabasas, California/Sierra Canyon School) was named Pacific West Conference Defender of the Week for Sept. 5-11, 2022.

Retsky's five saves were integral in helping the Hawai'i Hilo women's soccer team hand Stanislaus State of the California Collegiate Athletic Association its first loss on the young season.

The Calabasas, Calif.-native also got the win in the Vulcans' 3-1 victory over San Francisco State last Thursday.
